S. Smirke, r. A in the Architect
London, says: "The application Of
volcanic scoria or pumice to the construc.
tion of the yaulting of the corridors OF
the smphitheater st Catania is worthy of
observation, and bears witness to the
constructive ability Of the Roman build
ers. The springings snd various main
rigs are executed in very sound brick
WORK, While the interstiCes, spandrels and
other parts OF the yaultirg are wholly
executed with this light get nard material
in its rough state, but run in
solidly with Pen Diana cement. That
this mode of construction is sub
stantial is evident from the perma-
nance cf.the work in thesegGncient CORR
doris. The dome Of the Pantheon at
Rome IS executed in the same manner,
and has stood the sieges, earthquakes and
all other causes of damage and decay for
nearly two thousand years Perhaps
may here be permitted to say that I think
it worthy of inquiry whether 8 safe,
permanent, perhaps even economical
waiting might not be similarly executed

the properties of volcanic sCoria, is ex-
tremely light, and yet so hard as TO be

SAVED BY A SNAKE.
hts story is Positively Original, and Ought
to be Copyrighted.

Chicago Tibune.
A Market square rOmencer IN the
shape Of sn old colored man of this city,
breaks the record in the way OF local
snake stories. His tale is as follows
"My little son has been begging ell sum-
mer to take a swim in Mad river, but we
have been afraid that if we let him 90 he
would get into deep water and get
drowned. We therefore refused TO let
him 60 in every case. One day | went
down town TO get watermelon,
and let George stay at home. l had
hardly got out of the house when he con-
Guided to take French leave and 60 to the
river, lie went to the bank and in q
short time had undressed and Waded into
the water. He enjoyed himself Wading
around in shallow water for while, but
before lOrg he became yanturesome and
waded cut toward the middle of the river.
Suddenly he reached Jumping off place
in the bottom Of the river, and in g min
ute more was battling with strong cur
rent in water fifteen feet deep. He yelled
with al his might, but no one heard him
or came to his assistance. He sauk
twice, and when he came up for
the second time he gave one de-
spairing scream and looked around fer
something floating on the surface of the
water by which ne could save himself.
Just as he was going down for the third
time he looked up and saw g. long black
branch swaying down over the water
Just as the current swept him under the
branch he reached up with tiaaI effort
and cIutched it. What was his horror to
feel the cold and Shiny tail of snake in
his hand. Desperation made him hold on,
however, and he was saved for the time
being. 1t was huge black snake which
he had caught holG OF, and which had its
body wrapped fast around the limb of q
tree, which bent low over the water in g
spot where the river bank is lined with
weeping willows. The boy kept fast hold
of the snake. IN q minute or two the
reptile thrust its head into the boys face
and Kissed at him in way to
make him shudder, but not
let go. He yelled with al his might and
party of fishermen hearing him came to
his assistance and extended fishing pole
to him. He caught hold CT it and i'll 8
minute or two WAS safe on dry land a
thankful and badly scared boy. The fish
ermen wanted to kill the snake, but the
boy begged so hard for the life of the
creature which had saved his life that they

are IN the city schools, while So per cent
are in the spsrseIy settled country. 1t is
tue we have large education fund, but
most of it IS in lands get unsoId. 1t will
be, when converted iUto money, d very
large fund, but what must the children of
to-day do?
The cities tax themselves to educate
the children. My city began in ISs9 with
tax Of tive mills 10 the dollar, a1d cor
tinues it. Hence the Fort Worth schools
have grown from 500 pupils and seven
teen teschers to & daily average attend
Gnce OF 1900 pupils snd for:y-three
teachers. l repeat, the city schools DO
we'll because they are well suppltedby a
very heavy tex. And one NTH OF the en-
tire fund of Fort Worth goes to the
colOred pupils. We have not in North
Texas, however, so many colored peo-
pie The cotton belt, or southeast,
Is the portion OF the state occuDfed by
the blacks. But whether il North or
South Texas the fund is distributed
strictly according 10 the ratio Of the col
ored to the white pupils. Fort Worth
pays the same to the teachers of the COL
ored pupils as she does TO the teachers of
the white. The principal and assistants
OF the colored schools are Sill colCred.
The principal is native Texan and S
well educated man. We also pay the
women tne same salary psid the men for
the same service, whether IS principals
or assistants.
The nation must help Us develop this
fair and welI-tounded system. l know
our senators have voted egsint the propO-
sition, but wherever our people under
stand the Blair Federal aid oil they are
for it, and if it could be discussed before
tae people generally they would De unani-
nous in its support. Persons engaged in
educational matters-those acquainted
with the Bill aGd the needs Of the schools
favor it. The superintendent Of the
cities ard public school thachers all over
the state, with the feWest exceptions ia
vor it.
If universal suffrage is based upon uni
yersal education, upon intelligence, upon
the ability of the voter to read the name
OF his choice upon the selected ballot
there IS great, crying necessity FOR ns-
tlonaI relief.

MRS. CIeveland's Medallion.
Boston Advertiser.


Mrs. Cleveland's portrait in bronze, by
Augustus St. Gsudens, has Just been
sent to the foundry to be cast. Mrs
Cleveland gave Mr.. st. Gaudens eleven
sittings. The portrait is designed es 8
low relief medallion, and the modelling
from life was done in pipe clay at Marion.
This model was then brought to New
York and al exact copy of it made in
plaster Of paris. From this plaster cast 8
mould will be impressed in casting sand
at the foundry, and the finished
medallion will be cast next week
in bronze. The medallion is lower
than bas-relief, but sufficiently raised
from the base to give q striking portrait
of a beautiful face, little more full than
profile. It is somewhat less than life
size, and includes shapely head, the
delicately outlined face and the perfect
neck. The lips are the prominent fee-
lures of artistic excellence in the medal
lion, and the neck, set most oeComingly,
is marked outline OF beauty and grace.
The entire medallion is an almost ideal
portrait of q beautiful face, and st the
same time such correct likeness that
everybody who has seen it pronounces
the work a most complete success.

Professor Hogg's Interview With the
Boston Globe.
Texas and the Texans have received g
large share of recent national attention,
and the Lone Stsr State is likely to be
the battle ground of some more import
ant contest in the next few yesrs.
Professor Alexander Hogg of Fort
Worth, left Boston for his home last
night, after short stay in New England,
Professor Hogg is superintendent of
schools 81 Fort Worth, and recognized
force in the public movements Of the
whole state. He is Virginisn born and
lifelong member and worker in the
Democratic party. Yet he seems to be in
Immediate danger of straying off the
party platform. But in this re-
spect he is an interesting
type of an important faction of
the Democracy. sThIs clash OF views Will
best appear in q reproduction OF talk
between Professor Hogg and Globe
reporter.
Referring to matter in which Professor
Hogg is most deeply interested, the re-
porter asked him a number Of questions
about the Texas schools, and the re-
sponses may be summed up in this way ::
''In the cities of Texas" said he, "the
schools are as good as theyar anywhere.
How would they compare with Boston?
Well, really, now, twice two is four
ell over this continent, and the branches
usually taught in the pulic schools are as
WELL TAUGHT IN TRXAs
as they are in Boston. OF course we
have not the fine school buildings nor the
bricks and morter that you have, but we
have the same people with the same
brains as your people, both as teachers
and pupils. The trouble is in the coun-
try. Only some II per cent. of our pupils

Home MISSIONARY society.

The falling of moist snow did not prevent
a good audience at the Home Missionary SER
vice last evening at the Second Parish YES
try. The work and methods of the Home
Missionary Society in connection with the
Congregational body were clearly and con-
cisely set forth. The condition of the
great West,-its needs, rapid growth and
large infuence,-w wildly described,
while the dangers threatening it were not
forgotten. 1t is evident that great prob
lem is before the people,-a problem national
as well as religious in its character that
should enlist the attention and work of the
patriot and Christian alike in the effort to
solve it. The gospel, with all its high edu-
cational influences, is without doubt the
solution. Three Societies of Christian En-
deavor in Massachusetts have raised over
$500, and expect to raise more, in liquida-
ton of the American Home Missionary debt.
Williston society of this city reported an
appropriation of $25 for the same purpose,
and the Second Parish society reported a
plan by which every member shall engage in
helping to raise the debt. A committee of
three was appointed, at the suggestion of w.
81. Pennell of Williston society, to send cir
culars to the churches throughout the State
asking their cooperation. A select choir
from the Second Parish society added much
to the interest of the occasion
